Fire Resistance | Hotel fire safety compliance | EN13501 Class E (Industry) ▲ B-s1,d0 (Base) ▲ A2-s1,d0 (Advanced) (highest fire resistance rating) | Base meets EU standards; Advanced achieves non-combustible Class A2. | Advanced versions cost 30% more than Industry Standard. |
Sound Insulation | Noise reduction in hotel rooms | 30 dB (Industry) ▲ 35 dB (Base) ▲ 40 dB (Advanced) (quieter than a whisper) | Base reduces background noise; Advanced matches luxury hotel requirements. | Thicker materials in Advanced may require additional installation space. |
Chemical Resistance | Industrial areas (kitchens, laundry) | Withstands 20 exposures (ASTM D543) ▲ 30 exposures (Base) ▲ 50 exposures (Advanced) (resists 10+ common chemicals) | Base protects against mild chemicals; Advanced withstands harsh industrial solvents. | Advanced materials add 20% to product weight. |
Thermal Insulation | HVAC system efficiency in hotels | R-4 (Industry) ▲ R-5 (Base) ▲ R-6 (Advanced) (reduces heat transfer by 40%) | Base improves energy efficiency; Advanced cuts heating/cooling costs by 25%. | Advanced requires thicker installation, limiting space in tight ductwork. |
Durability | High-traffic hotel corridors | 1,000 N/m² tensile strength (Industry) ▲ 1,200 N/m² (Base) ▲ 1,500 N/m² (Advanced) (outperforms steel in fatigue tests) | Base resists daily wear; Advanced lasts 50% longer under constant stress. | Advanced materials may require specialized tools for installation. |
Weight | Lightweight construction in hotels | 300 GSM (Industry) ▲ 285 GSM (Base) ▲ 250 GSM (Advanced) (lighter than standard insulation foam) | Base simplifies handling; Advanced reduces labor time by 20%. | Advanced’s lower weight may compromise structural integrity in heavy loads. |
